    Been saying this for what feels like months now. RF2 has always been hamstrung by its lack of online support and UI. The UI is getting better, I mean, since 2018, it's night and day. And the online system, its just game-changing. It's fantastic to hear someone echoing my thoughts on all this. Cheers!

      @@EikeSky I see ! Well I can say I've been playing rf2 for ages despite its shortcomings. I used to play AC. I actually agree with everything GM says about AC except when he says it handles better than rf2. It's also a great sim, especially using SRS for online and the patches and content manager etc. But rf2 is the most engaging driving feeling for me. It's personal choice at the end of the day though!

    a potential reason for the non fixed setups (for the gt's at least) is that there is quite a large pace disparity between cars on default. mainly the newer content being usually a couple of tenths to even a second with some cars. so for most races it would turn into a bmw m4 cup

    You are the reason I reinstalled this game. I tried it for about 10 minutes a couple years ago and it was just a pain so I uninstalled. I'm am an iracing fan boi so I get triggered by some of your comments lol. But after driving rf2, then iracing, then acc, I came to realize you are correct on the ffb. Iracing feels like poop compared to the other 2. But I want to race online and no one but I racing can figure out how to do it which is really just sad. This is a huge improvement and I'm willing to give it a go as the feels you get through the wheel is really nice. Thanks for the great video. Maybe someday you'll get me to reinstall ac1. But with 14 add-ons to download just for it not to suck and no one racing online I feel it's a waste of time for the experience I'm looking for. Lfm coming in to fix kunos lack of online development does not give me hope for ac2. Just my 2 cents.

    Yep with this move S397 and MG have brought RF2 to its full potential, with still a few hiccups to solve or add, and a "Career Ladder" thingy to activate "soon"... but for now at least the daily races and special events have been real treats. I just hope the upcoming "crowds" will keep the same spirit :)
    But boy, as I was watching your vid, I was remembering all that has been accomplished since Grand Prix 2 (was about 18yo at the time, dreaming of what it could become in my-then's future), I couldn't even have imagined that it could be looking like it looks today, even in this YT vid (with all the comp/decomp process required to stream it and all...). Besides, I never understood those who prefer to get some kind of blurry things on the sides of their screen (giving them only an illusion of speed), rather than the marvelous crispiness of rf2's 3D. With an I7/GF3060Ti/32GB RAM on 1440p of vertical resolution, I got every graphic option maxed out and it's flawless in terms of fluidity on the tracks (I mean even in the online competition system), and to my eyes at least, it's pretty much beautiful and above all realistic, in particular in the way it reacts to the differences in sunlight, the occlusions, dawn and dusk, the "night tracks", rainy days, "dream away..." :)
    Next step February 20th for Le Mans Ultimate! ;) Geee...! Between those 2 and the latest WRC on the rally front, and the upcoming seasons of IRL main motorsports, 2024/2025 are going to be some kind of pinnacle years or golden age of something... :)

When Black friday appeared (14 days into my First signup to iracing) I asked if they would allow me to do two years on The new sign up deal. They refused. I honestly dont Think its resonable to expect people to sign up for a two year membership to a gane they never tried. Anyways im glad there are other options out there because as a result no cars or Tracks purchased on iracing and it made my decision to leave iracing for other options Easy.

    If motorsport games wants to attract and rise rF2 players, they need to heavily discount all rF2 cars, tracks and packs much more often like 2 years ago, not just some really spare ones.
    At least, bring back the 50% discount on all carpacks and trackpacks (on actual steam sales only GT3 carpack is 50% discounted). This could help their bad finances too.
    So far only the ex BTCC complete pack got a nice full price (8 cars, 4 tracks, 3 seasons), but let's be honest, if discounted by -25% now could be more appelling to potential buyers.
    And brick back rF2 demo, taken off on november 2022.
    From one side, i'll glad if motorsport games will be gone since they're only good on waste money (the indycar exclusive license was imho the top notch of stupidity, expecially when 2022 fiscal year was a disaster): this short term view has proved why they're on high risk waters with the recent second NASDAQ Notice of Delisting.
    from the other, i'll be sad for Studio397 wich is doing is job and it's not their fault if motorsport owners are bad...

    rF2 has great physics. Unfortunately, it is very heavy on the PC, thus I gave up it. I have a Lenovo Legend 5 and run it with the lowest graphic settings, it stutters with AI. I hope won't do that in MP, if I give another try. Thanks for the video.

Simply the smaller userbase will always be an hindrance in too many different ways, and I just had too many bad experiences with the little quirks of this game over time, even if it drives great.

    Great content Gamermuscle, enjoy your channel immensely. Question for you. Or perhaps an upcoming vid by you, as you don’t hold back, making your channel very REAL…
    But why, if VR players say it’s the cats meow, do we not see sim racing channels like yourself and countless others sim racing content creators using VR when playing the games…?
    It’s almost like it’s a paid advertisement from vr companies to content creators to push their new products, as it comes and goes like the weather… just curious on someone’s honest take on this…is it truly hype and gimmick, or truly a game changer…again I see you sim racers use them for a week tops when products come out, and then never hear or see them again…. Thanks buddy. Can’t wait to hear your take on this.

That said, this new ranked multiplayer can use only official content either in the base game or DLC. There are community servers which are free to run whatever content they want.

    Enjoyed watching your review!

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  Před 6 měsíci +2

      I have no idea what you are trying to say.
      Being able to fast report people is great
      The developer then uses an algorithm that will make it easier to find people that consistently wreck races.
      A person with a ton of reports from different other people is more likely to be a wrecker.
      Once you see a person with way more reports than others you then check to see if they are wrecking and then take action.

    • @TANGORACING
      @TANGORACING Před 6 měsíci

      ​@@GamerMuscleVideos In theory I agree. But is this the developers description of the workflow and does it actually work? Or is it wishfull thinking of how it works, because it's so much easier to report people..
      I agree that it's bothering to report people in iRacing, but I also think that there is a positive side to it. So people do have to be serious about reporting someone and not just basically click report in the heat of the moment.. And also it's proofen that reports in iRacing are indeed followed up by humans processing it and taking consequencies. If and how that works in rFactor yet has to be seen I think... I just have an issue with praising a feature which is completely unknown to actually work at all...

    You have to remember there are a lot of us who enjoy hot lapping and creating set ups. There are lots of car series in the real world that have open set ups. At some point you need to step up and learn how to set up a car in a sim. I thoroughly enjoy racing against myself hotlapping and tuning and then competing against other peoples set up and racing skills and so do lots of other people. I’d argue against you and say I’d personally prefer that one of the rookie races should be open set up. Ultimately I agree and respect why rf2 rookies is fixed, then if you want to step up from rookies you need to stretch yourself and learn set ups!

    • @GamerMuscleVideos
      @GamerMuscleVideos  Před 6 měsíci +1

      It's not about me or anyone learning how to set up a car it's just a simple fact that fixed setup produces closer racing and close racing is the point of doing sprint races in the first place.
      Even for longer races having limited setup / mostly fixed set is going to produce closer racing.
      By all means have open set up for longer non sprint races leagues / special events though why not , for people that want it.
      But Setup skills literally turns into a game of trile and error and time at the higher level + knowledge of a specific sims exploits and often unrealistic broken aspect of physics.

    • @jamesleegte5753
      @jamesleegte5753 Před 6 měsíci

      @@GamerMuscleVideos conversely lots of people know how to set up cars and physics exploits from learning via hot lapping and learning from others. If you watch streams of top split racing with Michi the racing is close, because they all took the time to learn the hacks, they researched, they spent time on each track looking for that extra tenth and a lot of us love that as part of the game.
      Motorsport is competitive and if you want to compete at higher splits that’s the motivation to learn. If you aren’t motivated to learn, then that’s what rookie races are for and why splits exist.
      If you end up in a split where people have a set up and you don’t, that should be the motivation to learn. If you aren’t motivated to, then that’s on you. It would be cool if they introduce one intermediate fixed settings race each week to satisfy as many people as they can.

    I like rF2's online system but I really wish there was less waiting time between races. 1 hour is quite a lot to wait for another race, imagining you just finished a race at :30 of the hour, you'd have to wait a full hour on top of that plus quali and 5 mins of practice for some reason before the race itself.
    I wish they created new sessions every 15 minutes and if not enough players were signed up you'd wait another 15. The problem I could see happening is that usually there are under 100 sign ups even with the 1 hour wait, so it's possible that quicker races could stagger the girds a bit too much and you'd end up racing the same people constantly, some car/track combos would possibly also have to constantly extend the wait. However, it's also possible that more people would start playing because sessions spawn more often.
    And I regret getting this far into the video, especially when Raceroom could learn a thing or two from these guys when it comes to ranked online structuring...

    Your tight line through T1 was so much faster than everyone else. What the hell were they all doing?

Of course, there are exceptions, but corners like that one isn't one of them. I'm curious to know what you think.
